Wind slabs are the main concern as southerly winds continue to promote wind slab formation.

There is no recent avalanche activity to report.

If you do go into the backcountry, consider submitting a Mountain Information Network report.

Below 1200 meter elevation, a thick crust is present approximately 50 cm above the ground. The middle and lower snowpack is reported to be well settled and bonded. Snow depth varies from 75-200 cm depending on the aspect,
